I'm (40F) currently on a road trip with my daughter (9F). We arrived at a random hotel last night about 9 pm and shortly after started getting ready for bed. My daughter has ADHD and takes Vyvanse. Well, somehow when I went to take my nighttime med I accidentally grabbed her 20mg Vyvanse as opposed
Hi Reddit, I realize this subreddit isn't "a substitute for real legal or medical help", but I don't know what else to do. Since the week before Christmas, 2010 I have had a harrowing itch all over my entire body. Not just "I'm itchy" but the kind of itch where I've considered going to the hospita

First and foremost, I like this movie a lot, easily an 8/10 for me. To me it's an interesting mesh of occult/cult horror present in *Hereditary* and *The Void* (Aaron Poole also stars in this film) and an investigation aspect found in films like *A Cure For Wellness* (also a long film). I feel I can
I thought I'd share my experience in case it could be helpful to anyone else. I've had migraines for over 20 years. They were manageable (avg. 6 migraines/month) until about a year and a half ago, when they became progressively more frequent. I tried acupuncture and changes to my diet, to no avai
Take 10mg doxepin for sleep + 100mg twice per day tramadol for an acute injury. Then because you are feeling weirdly sad, throw in some st john's wort because your relative swears by it. Then you start feeling even more sad and can't sleep so add 50mg of benadryl. I had taken each of these separatel
Does anyone have a compounding recipe for Doxepin 0.5% mouth rinse? I believe you have to include polysorbate 80 and a suspending agent. Please help?

Welcome. In this post I will be going over the pharmacology of ACD856 and Usmarapride, two new additions to Everychem and strong nootropic candidates. This is part 2 of our 2025 biohacking agenda of releases, and I expect two more segments documenting the releases of our custom projects in trying to
I don't know if you'll agree, but sometimes it seems like Pisces and career, and therefore financial well-being, are on diametrically opposed ends of the spectrum. It's as if we subconsciously reject any economic benefit. We are far from stockbrokers, sole traders and other pragmatically thinking pe
This will be a bit of a lengthy post, but I feel it is worth sharing my mother's story, and if you would be kind enough to help or just upvote this if you can. Thank you in advance. For context, my mom started having typical fibromyalgia symptoms in her late twenties, and it got significantly worse
I think the worst I had was when I called home after I finally got myself admitted with intentions of seeking the help I needed rather than serving out 72 hour tdo etc and finessing my way out the door as quickly as I could manipulate the docs to pop the locks and let me out after the timer expired

We have been compounding pain creams in our pharmacy steadily for the past year. Recently, we added PCCA Emulsifix to the formulations to prevent separation of the emulsions. Now we are seeing some of the lipoderms turn green overnight. The KCGMIT (Ketamine, clonidine, gabapentin, imipramine, tetr
